Step 2 - Configure repositories v6.0.1

On each host which you want to use as a PGD data node, you need to install the database and the PGD software.

Configure repositories

Set the following environment variables:

`EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN`

This is the token you received when you registered for the EDB subscription. It is used to authenticate your access to the EDB repository.

export EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN=<your-token>

`EDB_REPO_TYPE`

This is the type of package manager you use, which informs the installer which type of package you need. This can be deb for Ubuntu/Debian or rpm for CentOS/RHEL.

export EDB_REPO_TYPE=<your-repo-type>

Install the repositories

There are two repositories you need to configure: one for the database software and one for the PGD software.

The following commands will download and run a script that configures your package manager to use the EDB repository for databases.

curl -1sSLf "https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/enterprise/setup.$EDB_REPO_TYPE.sh" | sudo -E bash

This will install the repository for the database software, which includes the EDB Postgres Extended Server and other related packages.

curl -1sSLf "https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/postgres_distributed/setup.$EDB_REPO_TYPE.sh" | sudo -E bash

This command will download and run a script that configures your package manager to use the EDB repository. It will also install any necessary dependencies.

Worked example

In this example, we will configure the repositories on a CentOS/RHEL system that will allow us to install EDB Postgres Extended Server 17 with PGD Essential with a standard subscription.

Set the environment variables

export EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
export EDB_REPO_TYPE=rpm
curl -1sSLf " https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/enterprise/setup.$EDB_REPO_TYPE.sh" | sudo -E bash
curl -1sSLf "https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/postgres_distributed/setup.$EDB_REPO_TYPE.sh" | sudo -E bash

The next step is to install the database and PGD software.
